Hi all,

 

I hv suffered a problem when I create a lookup field. For example, i want to lookup the age field in the A table. However, when i create the lookup field in B table. It is unable to lookup the age field specifically. It always shows the primary field of the A table. Can anyone help for this? ><

    There is a way to "tweak" it on the form but that approach won't work in grids. Here is this approach:

    Are there any method to show my specific field instead of the primary field? ><

    Hello,

    That's how lookups work - the "Primary Field" is shown in the lookup.
